O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure.

O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure.

The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times...Psalms 12:6. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb....Psalms 19:7-10. To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work...Titus 1:15-16.

 

Are you works or deeds based on the pure word of God…yes or no? Do you have a thus said the Lord for all you do…Authority from the New Testament of Christ…yes or no?

 

We can know the truth because Jesus said the truth sets us free from deception and lies from the evil one. The evil one deceives the nations and we must remain vigilant not to be deceived in and corrupt and cruel world of lies. Can you discern a lie…I can discern a liar easier than a lie because a liar always lies and if they lie to you once then you cannot trust them. May our lives be filled with truth tellers who do not withhold.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our needs and keep us pure so we can practice the truth without falling for another lie or liar…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

What does pure in heart mean?

Money should be your servant not your God…

Money should be your servant not your God…

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; and He saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them...Matthew 21:12-14.


Why did Jesus overthrow the money changers and those that bought and sold in the temple?

They were running a business on forgiveness…some people did not have access to the animals needed for the required sacrifices. These men would sell the needed provisions…the animals needed for forgiveness. The people were being extorted (squeezed) for money and forgiveness.


Jesus said…No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money...Matthew 6:24. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs...1 Timothy 6:9-10.


Prayer

Father we know forgiveness is now free in the love of Jesus your only Son who died on the cross and was raised from the dead…please help us see our errors of sin and grant us repentance so we may be saved and reconciled to You the Creator…please meet our soul’s deepest needs in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

God makes miracles out of messes and mistakes...

You ever caused God to rejoice…


See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. For the Son of man came to save that which was lost. How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goes astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish...Matthew 18:10-14. My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he who converts a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins...James 5:19-20. And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26.

 

You ever seen a loved one teach a false doctrine after knowing the truth…or see them fall into following a false teacher…or false doctrine…yes or no?


Some say it is just a white lie…no it is false witness…some say it he was not using it properly so I took it…no it is stealing…I wish he did not exist…no it is hate and the beginning of murder…some say it is idolatry…no Jesus said to bear my cross it is a reminder around my neck…some say I want it and got it myself…no it is coveting…some say I do not have to take care of my parents…no it is not honoring your father and mother…some say it is just pictures not pornography…Jesus said it is adultery in your heart…some say God will accept any song and form of worship…no we must keep ourselves Holy and worship in Spirit and the Truth…some say O my God…no it is using His name wrong unless you are praying or teaching about God. Some say there are many ways to God…no you shall have no other God than our Creator and His Only Fathered human Son born of a virgin…so that no human could say they are greater. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me (the Truth)...John 14:6.

 

Prayer

Father please grant us and our loved ones repentance and mercy from Your throne and heart…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our flesh and soul from the consequences of our past sins…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
